Title: I think I broke the game!
Post by: Scoobug on April 12, 2012, 09:42:03 PM: Ok so, Angel of Revelation is set aside by Witness to Creation and upon return does a rescue attempt. He is blocked by a demon who bands to a human and his special ability says that the band cannot be prevented. So Angel of Revelation cannot be blocked by the human, but the action of banding the human into battle cannot be stopped. What happens? I hope the game isn't broken!

Post by: Drrek on April 12, 2012, 09:44:22 PM: You did not break the game. The angel ignores the human evil character, so the evil character cannot enter battle. It is not preventing the band, it is ignoring the character which stops the band.

CBP can not be stopped before it happens. CBN can not be stopped ever.

That is slightly incorrect:
Cannot be prevented can only be interrupted/negated and only after it's played.
Cannot be interrupted can only be prevented/negated and only before it's played.
Cannot be negated cannot be interrupted, prevented, or negated before or after it's played.

FTFY. Using the actual words is just plain misleading. ;)
